Lies
by Tammy Jann
2020
A glint of silver between the lips
where complements slowly drip
hit the air, dry up and die
they were only lies
Chorus
They promise the moon
promise the sun
you're feeling fooled
you're not the only one
invested your heart
shared all of your soul
right from the start
it's your trust they stole
only believe their promise to make you cry
the rest will always be lies
Behind the eyes a promise waits
it was destined for another's fate
your victimized and hypnotized
they are always lies
bridge
no more trusting words
and the stories they fed
those tainted tales
will be put to bed
find the sun and moon
in someone else's sky
walk away
leave behind the lies
Chorus
They promise the moon
promise the sun
you're feeling fooled
you're not the only one
invested your heart
shared all of your soul
right from the start
it's your trust they stole
only believe their promise to make you cry
the rest will always be lies
